Through iterative interviews, develops model of distinguishing features of foundations (industry consortia and public benefit nonprofits, but not single-vendor entities) that provide legal homes for free and open source software projects.

Outline of model, using slightly different terminology than authors in some cases:

Two foundations that should be analyzed in the future, as legal hosts for many free and open source projects are the Software Freedom Conservancy and Software in the Public Interest. Wikimedia Foundation would also be interesting, as a software project host, and as a host of other open collaboration projects -- the analysis could be usefully extended to non-software hosts of open collaboration projects as well. W3C another candidate.
